South African police on Thursday said they would charge Olympic athlete Oscar Pistorius with murder after his girlfriend was shot and killed at his home earlier Thursday morning.

The circumstances of the incident are still unclear but police in South Africa said they would oppose bail when the Paralympic gold medalist appears in court Friday. The hearing was scheduled for Thursday afternoon but was delayed to give forensics investigators time to do their work, the Associated Press reported.

Police in South Africa do not name suspects in crimes until they have appeared in court but police spokesperson Brigadier Denise Beukes said that Pistorius was at his home after the death of the victim and that "there is no other suspect involved," The Associated Press reported.

Original story was he thought she was a burglar so he shot her. Police say that wasn't their report and they think it is homicide.

If the former, that shows the risk that you run if you are a shoot first and ask questions later kind of person. Allegedly he kept a gun next to his bed, a machine gun at the window along with machetes etc

Allegedly there had been previous allegations of domestic abuse.

as usual you are wrong. If this had been a home invasion any hesitation on his part would have been fatal. But no surprise that you have a limited grasp on reality.
